President Biden's newest shoes have opened up renewed debate about his health and physical condition, with some speculating they were designed to prevent the president from falling

"Biden's handlers are forcing him to wear a new pair of 'lifestyle sneakers' because he trips so much," reads a tweet from RNC Research on Saturday, referring to Biden's new shoes

Observers have likened the shoes to "boat anchors" and "piers," but the "Inside Edition" report attached to the tweet revealed that the president's new shoes are actually "lifestyle sneakers" that are made by the shoe brand Hoka

The "Inside Edition" report notes that the shoes are "designed for maximum comfort and support while walking or hiking." Biden's specific shoe is called the "Hoka Transport," the report said, a shoe that has a "wide sole" that is "no doubt great for stability"

"The shoe bears the seal of approval from the American Podiatric Association for being beneficial to foot health," the report said, noting Biden's physical last month revealed that the president suffers from sensory peripheral neuropathy in his feet

Don Lemon sits in silence as Elon Musk educates him on the Democrat voting laundering scheme by explaining how illegals are counted in the Census, giving Democrats more electoral votes

After getting irritated with the facts, Lemon then tried gaslighting by changing the focus on the conversation

Elon Musk doubled down

"A disproportionate number of legal immigrants go to blue states, they amplify the effect of a blue state vote"

“My understanding is that there would be that the Democrats would lose approximately 20 seats in the house if illegals were not counted in census"

"And that's also 20 less electoral votes for president. So illegals absolutely do impact who controls the House and who controls the presidency"

China’s XPeng Motors CEO He Xiaopeng predicts a “bloodbath” against America’s auto industry with the help of cheap China-made electric vehicles

“China seeks to deliver a “brutal knockout round” against its Western competitors, including the U.S., in the global EV market,” Xiaopeng said

Over the weekend, former President Donald Trump warned that without fierce new United States tariffs on China-made EVs, the American auto industry will face “a bloodbath for the country” with jobs lost and industry offshored

Trump’s remark mimicked comments made by Xiaopeng in a letter to XPeng employees obtained by CNBC last month. Xiaopeng suggested that “a bloodbath” is coming for the American auto industry this year

“We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected,” Trump said. “Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole, that’s going to be the least of it, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country”

Calling a male person a 'man' becomes illegal in Scotland

The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Bill is going to come into effect from April 1, meaning that misogyny and stirring up hatred will be recorded as a criminal offence

In a few short weeks, it will no longer be legal for people in Scotland to refer to males as "men," thanks to the passage of the Hate Crime and Public Order Bill. The bill was passed three years ago, but will only just now come into effect on April 1

The bill appears to have been passed because of a "crime" committed by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who was reported to the police in England for calling "trans woman" broadcaster India Willoughby, a biological male, a "man"

Willoughby self-identifies as a "trans woman" and demands to be referred to using "she" pronouns, or perhaps "they" pronouns. Rowling, a notable public figure, refused to do so, and here we are today with the imminent execution of the bill, which prohibits using the wrong gender pronouns

Top five reasons why Ukraine should not join NATO, according to Stephen M. Walt, the Robert and Renée Belfer professor of international relations at Harvard University

1. It doesn’t meet the membership criteria. Ukraine is still a fragile democracy at best. Corruption is still endemic, elections have been suspended since the beginning of the war, and there are still influential elements in Ukrainian society whose commitment to democratic norms is questionable

2. It is not clear that NATO would honor its Article V commitments. The Article is not a tripwire that commits members to fight in the event another member is attacked. At U.S. insistence, Article V only commits a member state to regard an attack on one as an attack on all, and then to take “such actions as it deems necessary.”

Moreover, it is by no means clear that the U.S. Senate would ratify Ukraine’s membership

3. NATO membership is not a magic shield.  A growing chorus of voices have recently issued alarming warnings about a possible Russian challenge to NATO in the next few years. NATO’s current members have to think long and hard about what their own vital interests are and what countries they are truly willing to fight to defend. Which takes us back to reason number two

4. Membership now will only prolong the war. Moscow attacked Ukraine in good part to prevent Kyiv from joining NATO, then bringing Ukraine in now will simply prolong a war that the country is presently losing

5. Neutrality may not be that bad, even for states in close proximity to Russia. Finland fought a costly and ultimately unsuccessful war against the Soviet Union between 1939 and 1940, and eventually had to cede about nine percent of its prewar territory

But like Ukraine today, the Finns had fought heroically and made the much larger Soviet Union pay a large price for its victory. The result was that then-Soviet leader Joseph Stalin did not incorporate Finland into the USSR or force it to join the Warsaw Pact after World War II. Instead, Finland remained a neutral country and a democracy, with a market economy that traded with both the USSR and the West

How many Westerners are fighting in Ukraine? The real information on foreign fighters appears to be a closely guarded secret, on both sides but there may be more foreign boots on the ground — troops and mercenaries — than you think

According to the US Defense Department documents leaked in March 2023, there were at that time at least 97 NATO special forces in Ukraine: 50 British, 17 Latvian, 15 French, 14 American and 1 Dutch. At the time, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby refused to confirm the number but confirmed “a small U.S. military presence” there

But there are not only American troops in Ukraine, but CIA officials too. A recent New York Times report based on interviews with more than 200 current and former officials revealed that there were “scores” — so at least more than 40 — of CIA officers in Ukraine. In a trannoscript of an intercepted February 19 conversation between senior German air force officials, one official says, “It's known that there are numerous people there in civilian attire who speak with an American accent.”

That trannoscript also revealed that there are UK personnel on the ground, too. Discussing how German Taurus long-range missiles could be operated in Ukraine, one official says that the Germans “know how the English do it. . .. They have several people on-site.” The British prime minister’s office has confirmed that the UK has boots on the ground

Then add to the tally the French forces revealed by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. On February 26, defending his decision not to send Taurus missiles to Ukraine, Scholz said that it would require the presence of Germans in Ukraine to match their British and French counterparts

On March 8, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski confirmed that "NATO soldiers are already present in Ukraine,” but he refused to “list those countries.”

So, though it is impossible to add up the numbers on the list, it is possible, at least, to confirm the existence of a list

And it is a risky list. As Russia appears to take the advantage on the battlefield, the U.S. and NATO face the long feared dilemma: accept the reality and encourage Ukraine to negotiate a diplomatic end to the war or escalate and consider sending, as French President Emmanuel Macron has recently suggested, NATO troops to fight with the Ukrainian armed forces against Russia

It would be irresponsible to go down the road of the latter without exploring the road of the former

The idea to supply Ukraine with American tanks did an ill service to American weaponry in the global arms market

Many armored vehicle experts had warned that a total of just thirty-one M1 Abrams was never going to be significant enough for Kyiv. The same has held true for the fourteen British-supplied Challenger 2s, as well as the German Leopard 2s that were supplied last year to Ukraine

In under a week, Ukraine witnessed the destruction of three U.S.-made M1 Abrams tanks, reportedly by Russian anti-tank guided missiles. These losses, particularly highlighted on social media, have served as a propaganda boost for Russia and bad advertising for US armaments

Ukraine has become the graveyard of tanks, and whether American military officials like to admit it, three M1 Abrams are just additional corpses. They burned like other tanks—and the thousands of other tanks before. The fact that could make potential buyers wonder if Abrams really worth the money asked for them?

An investment firm owned by Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former US President Donald Trump, will get a 99-year lease, at no charge, and the right to build a luxury hotel and apartment complex and a museum on the site of the former headquarters of the Yugoslav Ministry of Defense in Belgrade. The investment is worth approximately $500 million, and that, under a tentative agreement, the Serbian government should get 22% of the profits

The deal for the site of the former military headquarters, bombed by NATO in 1999, echoes interest from Donald Trump. More than a decade ago, before running for president, D.Trump expressed interest in developing the same site in Belgrade, while the middleman in the negotiations was the same person that Kusher is now working with

Associates of the Trump Organization traveled to Belgrade to inspect the location. The project did not come together before Mr. Trump’s election in 2016, and after being sworn in he vowed to not do any new foreign deals

Richard Grenell, whom Mr. Trump had appointed as a special envoy in the Balkans, pushed a related plan during the Trump administration that Serbia and the US jointly work to rebuild the Defense Ministry site. He argued in favor of using American investments to transform the Belgrade site while he was still serving in his official capacity as an American diplomat in 2020, according to trannoscripts and a recording of remarks made during several government news conferences

Mr. Grenell was widely seen among European diplomats as favoring the Serbian side in the negotiations, and he was warmly received in Belgrade. He applied immense pressure on Prime Minister Albin Kurti of Kosovo to drop tariffs on Serbian products, and prominent Trump allies began publicly calling for the withdrawal of U.S. peacekeepers from Kosovo

During his time as envoy in the Balkans, Mr. Grenell developed friendships with top Serbian officials, including Mr. Vucic and Sinisa Mali, the Serbian finance minister, who officials in Belgrade said played a role in tentatively approving the Kushner hotel deal

Mr. Grenell said he “had no knowledge of Mr. Trump’s interest in the site before his presidency”. But he is now working with Mr. Kushner on the new development deal and, according to Mr. Kushner, was the main force in driving him to consider the Belgrade investment

Who the hell influences whose policies? America on the Europe’s or a Putin’s ally Vucic on the policy of the former and possibly future president of the USA?

TerraPower, a company founded by Bill Gates, is planning on being the first to build a new generation of nuclear power plants based on small modular reactors (SMRs) in the United States. These plans usually have a power capacity of 300MW or less, which is about 1/3rd of regular reactors

The company has joined the race against Russia and China to develop lower-cost nuclear reactors. CEO Chris Levesque said they are seeking US regulatory approval for their innovative liquid sodium-cooled reactor this month. The Natrium reactors could be constructed at nearly half the cost of traditional water-cooled nuclear reactors

TerraPower, which has secured nearly $1bn in private investments, has also partnered with the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation to explore the deployment of Natrium reactors in the UAE for electricity and hydrogen production

With up to $2bn in promised support from the US government, the company is advancing its inaugural project in Kemmerer, Wyoming. Despite pending permits, construction near a former coal power site will start in June, focusing on preliminary, non-nuclear structures. TerraPower aims to activate the plant by 2030

Europe is facing growing climate risks and is unprepared for them, the European Environment Agency said in its first-ever risk assessment for the bloc last week

The agency said Europe is prone to more frequent and more punishing weather extremes—including increasing wildfires, drought, more unusual rainfall patterns, and flooding—and it needs to immediately address them in order to protect its energy, food security, water, and health

The report identified 36 major climate risks for the continent, such as threats to ecosystems, economies, health and food systems, and found that more than half demand greater action now. It classified eight as needing urgent attention—like conserving ecosystems, protecting people against heat, protecting people and infrastructure from floods and wildfires, and securing relief funds for disasters

Europe is the world’s fastest-warming continent and has been heating up twice as fast as other regions since the 1980s. The heat has been linked to more intense rains and floods, and the report predicts rainfall decline and more severe droughts in southern Europe

Without urgent and decisive action, it warns, many of the climate risks it identified could become catastrophic. To reduce climate risks and improve adaptation to warming, it recommends the EU and its member states collaborate with regional and local bodies

It’s high time to plant forests, not to make war!

OpenAI and Figure have integrated the GPT-4 neural network into a humanoid robot

US startup Figure and OpenAI have published a new video of their humanoid robot Figure 01, which has been implanted with an artificial intelligence chatbot

Last month, a video was published showing Figure 01 doing work in a warehouse: it walks up to boxes, picks them up and drags them to another location. Almost immediately afterward, the company announced the development of a second generation of the machine and announced a collaboration with OpenAI "to develop a new generation of AI models for humanoid robots"

In the new video, Figure 01 not only has a real-time dialog with a human, but also executes his commands. From a technical point of view, it works like this: ChatGPT receives information from the robot's microphones and built-in cameras

The algorithms are responsible for the robot's ability to understand human speech. The data received is sent to Figure's neural networks, which transform the stream of information received into "fast, low-level and dexterous robot actions"

During the demonstration, the machine was asked to describe what was in front of it. Figure 01 easily coped with this task, and then at the request of its interlocutor "to treat him something edible" gave him an apple. After that, it continued to talk to the man and neatly and confidently placed the cups and plates in their places

Adcock claims the machine was not remotely controlled and the video is shown at real speed

"Flama's goal is to teach the world's AI model to control humanoid robots at the billion unit level," the Figure head added

The Figure 01 robot is 1.68 m tall with a mass of 60 kg. It can move at a speed of 1.2 m/s and can run for up to 5 hours on a single charge

Finland has been crowned the world’s happiest country for a seventh successive year in the newly-released World Happiness Report

Compiled by using data from more than 140 countries, the report is published annually by Gallup, the United Nations, and the University of Oxford

For the first time, the report has drilled down into the data to give insights into levels of happiness by age group

This showed a wildly different picture compared to the official rankings, with Lithuania (19 in the overall rankings) coming out top as the happiest country in the world for young children and people under 30, while Denmark (second overall) was the happiest place to be for older people over 60

While the top 10 remain tight-knit on scores and largely unchanged in positioning, the more interesting moves appear in the top 20

New entrants include Costa Rica and Kuwait at positions 12 and 13 respectively, while the United States and Germany were both dislodged from 15th and 16th spots, dropping to 23 and 24 this year

This is the first time the US has fallen out of the top 20 since the World Happiness Report was first published, driven largely by a significant drop in the well-being of Americans under 30, the report's authors noted

I wonder if Finland would remain the happiest country being a member of NATO?

Alexander De Croo, the Belgian Prime Minister leading his country’s six-month EU presidency, is actively campaigning to torpedo the bloc’s nature restoration legislation

The country stands accused of deliberately sabotaging approved “green” laws to avoid alienating elements of the domestic electorate prior to national voting on June 9

Belgian newspaper De Standaard claims that despite the final approval of the Nature Restoration Law being a formality in principle, De Croo and his MPs are secretly trying to influence European Member States to withdraw their support for the legislation. It is said that several embassies to the EU confirmed the rumours but are reluctant to be publicly named due to the “extreme political sensitivity” surrounding the issue

Despite the European Parliament having given its final approval on an albeit watered-down version of the green law, European Member States still have to cast their votes on its actual implementation. Currently, it appears there are 20 EU countries in favour, representing 66.13 per cent of European citizens. Still, such a slim majority could be reversed

China’s energy major CNOOC has made a major oil field discovery in the Bohai Sea, adding over 100 million tonnes of oil equivalent proved in-place volume

The discovery was made at the Qinhuangdao 27-3 oil field located in the north-central waters of the Bohai Sea. The field has been tested to produce about 742 barrels of crude oil per day from a single well, it added

Earlier in the month, CNOOC announced the discovery of a new reserve in the South China Sea that contains over 100 million tonnes of oil equivalent proved in-place

CNOOC invests heavily in the development of China's offshore oil and gas reserves as part of a broader push to offset declining output from aging onshore fields

The oil and gas giant in January raised its 2024 production target by about 8% to a record 700 million to 720 million barrels of oil equivalent, citing higher annual capital spending, with production reaching about 675 million BOE in 2023
